Hey JeanBelmont! I have some news for you, that might help. I had my bike registered, and liecensed here in minnsota as a motorcycle (being that its a 80/66cc) lol!. The 1st thing you have to do,is have the bike inspected with the state. Then go and stand in line at the DMV, so you can pay the fee's. Just Make sure you take at least 5 photos of the bike at all angles.(Also, take all receipts of all the parts you put into it.) Inturn! they will give you paper work to fill out as to what you paid, and did to the bike. Once all the paper work, and fee's are paid, they will give you your plates & tags. But you have to wait till your VIN# come in the mail. (lmao!) You need the stat VIN# in order to get insurance. I've been all over the internet, trying to find insurance. GEICO will insure it, but You have to have that (state VIN#) I guess i just have to wait on my VIN# ... So with that being said, Good Luck! (^_^)\\m//
